Abstract In this paper, we consider all P-wave $\Omega_{b}$ states represented by interpolating currents with a derivative and calculate the corresponding masses and pole residues with the method of QCD sum rule. Due to the large uncertainties in our calculation compared with the small difference in the masses of the excited $\Omega_{b}$ states observed by the LHCb collaboration, it is necessary to study other properties of the P-wave $\Omega_{b}$ states represented by the interpolating currents investigated in the present work in order to have a better understanding about the four excited $\Omega_{b}$ states observed by the LHCb collaboration.

Abstract The Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), is China's biggest laboratory for basic sciences. IHEP aims to understand the universe at the most fundamental level—from the smallest subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of the cosmos. As well as theoretical and experimental research into particle and astroparticle physics, IHEP has a broad range of research in related fields from accelerator technologies to nuclear analysis techniques. The Institute also provides beam facilities for researchers in other fields of sciences.

Abstract While China's almost flawless space endeavours—such as its space lab Tiangong-2, launched last year, and the 2012 mission that sent a rover to the surface of the Moon—have long impressed the world, space-science missions were not among its priorities until recently. The situation improved in 2011 when the Chinese Academy of Sciences won government support for a 10-year Strategic Pioneering Programme on Space Science—with a total budget of nearly 1 billion dollars. Since then, China has launched satellites to probe dark matter, detect black holes and conduct quantum experiments from space. This year will see the launch of an astronomy satellite and a highly anticipated mission to bring back rocks from the Moon. In a forum chaired by National Science Review's Executive Associate Editor Mu-ming Poo, space scientists discussed different types of Chinese space programmes, the science missions already launched or in development, the importance and challenges of international collaboration, and the uncertain future of the country's space-science development.

Abstract China has invested heavily in nanotechnology in the past decades. It's one of the key areas of focus in the medium and long-term scientific programmes between 2006 and 2020. In 2012, the country also launched a Strategic Pioneering Programme on nanotechnology, which has a budget of one billion yuan (US$152 million) over five years and is led by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Beijing. As a result of this long-term investment, China is now a major player in nanotechnology, ranking first worldwide in terms of the number of scientific papers and patents. At the Sixth International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology—which was held in Beijing on 3–5 September, 2015—Chunli Bai, President of CAS and Editor-in-Chief of National Science Review (NSR), shared a platform with another five leading scientists, where they discussed recent progress of nanotechnology in China, the potential impact of nanoparticles on public health, as well as challenges and opportunities ahead.

BEPC, which is the first high energy particle accelerator to be built in the People’s Republic of China, is being constructed in Beijing. It consists of four main subsystems: a 1.4 GeV electron-positron linac, a 2.2–2.8 GeV storage ring, a magnetic spectrometer for high energy physics experiments, and synchrotron radiation facilities. All its components are described here in detail, and the current status of the construction is reported.
